AŞIK
AŞIĞIM
This may sound tricky and difficult to grasp at first, try pronouncing the words as directed and hear the difference.
If you pronounce the first A as a short and sharp sounding A, then,
AŞIK: a bone used in a kind of childgame
AŞIĞIM: the bone that I use in the game (my bone)
If you pronounce the first A slightly longer and softer,then
AŞIK : someone in love
AŞIĞIM : A-ŞI-ĞIM :if the stress is on the first syllable "I am in love",
If the stress is on the last syllable, "my lover"(a lady's lover, a man would call the one he loves "sevgilim")
